Mathematics 308 - Fall 2002 - Student projects
I can summarize the hand-out by saying that the categories in which
credit was assigned were:
-
mathematical content (how much mathematics is involved? how relevant to the course material?)
-
clarity (arguments will ideally be transparent, and context explained; graphics must be easy to read, aimed at
mathematics; well designed to convey ideas rather than distract)
-
correctness (no serious mathematical errors)
-
difficulty (how much work involved, and how much technical knowledge?)
-
interest (as interesting as possible, given the topic)
-
originality (how many of the ideas and how much of the execution are yours?)
-
technical skill (are ideas presented graphically where possible? text well written?)
Most of the projects are in a single PostScript file.
In order to read them,
you will need to have a PostScript interpreter
installed on your system,
and it will have to be specified as the appropriate `helper'
in your browser. Others are a mixture of .html
and images. Generally, images will have cached behind them
a PostScript link.
The projects are listed in alphabetical order,
by last name. Quality varies quite a bit,
but I won't comment here on how they compare. I will say that some of
these seem to me spectacularly good.
